Hi need a trade price on a c63
Discussion
thats a massive loss if he only gets 35k for it, that means its lost approx 20k in 7months. i thought they would have held there value better than that.im glad i got a guaranted value on my car in 2years time they reckon its worth 33k with 24000 miles on it.
all the best anyway hope you get a better value than that on your car.

As said the spec of your car is going to make all the difference.
The car in Autotrader at 41k appears to have Command and thats about it???
For some reason quite a few of the first cars to arrive in the UK seem to have been very low on spec but the well spec'd cars are still up at the 49950 mark or higher.
Unfortunately there are owners of all cars at the moment trying to get out and this leads to some shocking trade in's or panic resales. The other factor is that despite AMG cutting the production of these cars and the initial massive demand there are now brand new C63#s sat around unsold.
I personally thought that the C63 would have been holding its price a bit better but then again i dont think anybody imagined the market situations we have at present?
Either way good luck selling it, and if your not desperate then hold out for a sensible bid or try the private sales?

The thing with every new AMG model that Mercedes launch in the UK is that they flood the market by allocating each dealer 2-3 cars; this then leads to massive over supply and low initial residuals. Then after the launch they only allocate dealers cars with 'sold orders', so the supply for immediate delivery is pretty much non existent, with only cancelled orders being available.
Anyway the point I'm trying to make is, most dealers will currently either have an unsold new car or an ex-demo in stock, hence p/x prices being unrealistically low at the moment. Give this another 6 months when unsold cars and demo's have been sold then dealers will be willing to take a 'punt' by taking one into stock, as getting a new car will probably mean a 6 month wait.
Obviously at the moment there are very difficult market forces in place which isn't going to help residuals on any car, but the C63 is an incredible car that will not need to be 'panic' sold as there won't be loads available on the market in about 6 months time, unlike the M3 and RS4. So I would suggest keeping hold of them and see where the market is in 6 months.

Doubt that will work?
If its year end you are trying to capitalise on then March would be the time of year?
If you are banking on the fact the car will be a year older in Jan then you may have a chance but i reckon if you walk into any dealer at the moment with no px and ready to sign, you will be very happy when you leave.
The only negative is of course that its a cirle, you buy it cheaper now means you will be selling it cheaper later!
